Before Walton Goggins boarded ‘Mister’, Josh Brolin had been attached to the action film, but had to exit the project due to scheduling conflicts.
As per Deadline, ‘Mister’ “follows a man (Goggins) who wakes up in a strange house covered in blood and comes to realize his true identity while fighting off contract killers from his past – including everyone from his exes to his best friend. To get out, he teams up with his estranged daughter (Moretz) who also has ended up in the family business, but they will need to repair their relationship in order to survive”.
In a statement, producer Basil Iwanyk said, “Walton and Chloe are the perfect pairing to capture Mister’s heart and humour, while delivering some of the most ambitious and wildly entertaining action sequences audiences will see on screen this year”.
As per ‘Female First UK’, ‘Mister’ will mark the directorial debut of Wade Eastwood, who previously worked on ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’, and ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’.
The filmmaker said in a statement, “From our first conversations, I knew Walton would bring an unpredictable spark you simply can’t manufacture, he’s electric. Chloe brings an incredible mix of strength, vulnerability and razor-sharp timing. Together, they make Mister exactly what we set out to create: bold, funny and completely full-throttle”.
Iwanyk and Erica Lee will produce the through Thunder Road. Walton Goggins could recently be seen in Amazon Prime Video’s second season of ‘Fallout’, which is based on Bethesda Softworks’ post-apocalyptic survival video game franchise of the same name.
